Excellent !!!
Had to say ..... own and LOVE my copy !!! Easter egg hunt advice excellent info, i had no clue.

Let's see ... my take on the DVD cover - sleek, I Like. But the REAL talent comes to life when play any one of the video's from my DVD disc. Duran Duran is the ultimate chemistry of artistic band members. Each time any one of their vids appears or re-appears on screen whether on television, VHS, or DVD, is like seeing an excellent video for the first time again. From one of my early favorites, "is there something i should know," to further down their journey to "come undone," or "ordinary world," all excellent songs, with real-life story-telling lyrics ...... EVERY artistic lyric, motion, and breath of DURAN DURAN, whether you're blind with hearing, deaf with eyesight, or lucky enough to have both, DURAN DURAN is TIMELESS, ICON, TALENT!!!

HOWEVER ..... WHERE, or WHEN, is the footage from the ARENA concert, uninterupted, i believe filmed in Oakland, CA, 14,000 fans, going to be available on DVD? I recorded it onto VHS sometime in 80's from MTV "FM stereo simulcast in many cities," when it aired there live. I'm not talking about the "Blue Silver" documentary i recorded onto VHS from cinemax, that i'd also like on DVD, which by the way has no complete concert video, just snippets of songs from various concerts on the Arena tour (kinda cheesy compared to what MTV aired "FM stereo simulcast in many cities," with uninterupted complete songs in concert from Oakland CA 14,000 fans?). The bands entertaining ENERGY, stage set-ups, dancing, color, EXCELLENT COMMAND OF SONG LYRICS, costumes and wardrobes, cam pans and angles, lighting/laser effects (planet earth/rio/girls on film) ..... AUDIENCE participation ..... THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. You are TRULY one of the lucky few of the masses if you've been to a DURAN DURAN concert in the 80's.

Some of the complete songs aired (in concert program "As The Lights Go Down?"): Is There Something I Should Know, Union Of The Snake, New Religion, Save A Prayer, Rio, Seventh Stranger, The Chauffeur, Planet Earth, Careless Memories, Girls On Film, roller derby style .... end of concert.

Whatever, or whoever it takes, my cash is ready to leap from my wallet for a DVD of that live uninterupted concert of "Arena" DURAN DURAN songs performed live in concert, and aired on MTV in the 80's. So COME ON, Tritec? Duran Duran band members and staff? Who will it take to butt heads and produce this masterpiece on DVD to nicely complement my collection? I'm patient but I can't buy it after i'm dead!!! So get off your bottom and get this EXCELLENT ARTISTIC stuff on DVD NOW!!!! =)

Greatest
Ok, I reviewed this already, but here's a more factual one. This is the most complete collection of Duran Duran's videos that I know of ranging from Planet Earth in 1981 to Electric Barbarella in 1997. It also includes the banned ones Girls on Film and The Chauffeur. The edited Girls on Film and the one with the alternative-ending can be found in the hidden extras. First of all, you can find out how to view the hidden extras by going to duranduran.com under Fan Forums in the Ask Katy section.
Also, to access the sub menus with the videos you have to click on every other letter of Greatest which is the starting menu.
There are two discs, the first disc including the videos done by the original five (LeBon, Rhodes and the three Taylors) and the second disc includes the videos that were made during the weird period where the band was continuously losing and adding members.
All the songs from the Greatest album are included, along with The Chauffeur and Burning the Ground, the latter being a montage of all their songs and videos.

First Disc----

Planet Earth: This is a cool video with water and fire and very tacky clothing. However, I believe Simon must have been getting used to performing the songs. He's still a real ham, though, and I mean that in a good way.

Girls on Film: Supposedly about exploitation of models (from what Simon says in the hidden audio interview) and that's what the lyrics suggest (they sound very sarcastic) but Simon does admit that the uncensored video definitely "overshadowed" this message. Sexist, tasteless---you name it.

The Chauffeur: Kind of artsy and I read somewhere that it's based on a movie. Unnecessarily (...) the band members are not shown in the video.

Hungry Like the Wolf: DD finally gives porn a rest. A video in the vein of Indiana Jones where Simon is hunting down a woman in tiger paint while the other band members are hunting him down. Takes place in Sri Lanka with shots of snakes and such and images that conjure up the idea of literal hunger.

Rio: Rio teases the boys and has them running all over the place, trying to catch her. John throws Andy off the boat while the others snap their fingers and sing "Oh Rio, Rio".

Save a Prayer: The boys roam the beaches of Sri Lanka in expensive suits (and I don't mean the kind you swim in, although they had no problem throwing each other in the water in Rio and getting their fashion model clothes all wet). Lots of kids, shots of sand and the water, a temple that they all stand before in the end.

Is There Something I Should Know?: Takes place mostly in some kind of shadowy room with the band singing to a light shining through the ceiling. Great video. Clips from their other videos at the end. Simon dancing with someone in Save a Prayer, Nick peeking through a door in Nightboat, John having make-up applied in Girls on Film, Roger in the beginning of Planet Earth where he's trapped in some kind of embryo-state (hard to describe) and that shot of Simon (?) with the water pouring through his hands and onto his face in Planet Earth.

Union of the Snake: Takes place in the desert. Simon is led into an underground place where he meets up with all kinds of shady characters and spends the rest of the video trying to escape with this kid whom you never find out what happens to. And in the end, the rest of the band drives off with out him while he collapses on the sand with flames in the background. But a man on a donkey or something comes by and gives him a ride after he wakes up in the daytime.

New Moon on Monday: Mostly has band members plotting something, running around a city in France with lighted torches and waving flags, while those in authority ride around on horses.

The Reflex: Live concert. Water flows from screen (don't think that's real. Maybe illusion?) and shots of people on chain leashes (?).

Wild Boys: Band battling it out with the "wild boys" who try to drag them down. Simon is tied to a windmill that churns water. John is chained to a car. The others fly through the air. I don't know what is going on with Nick. But they escape in an old-fashioned, roofless car in the end, victorious as snow falls down.

A View to a Kill: Clips from Bond but the band also takes part in a sort of spy plot.

The second disc includes Notorious (mostly them dancing), Skin Trade (Kinda stylish. Simon is wearing a Freddy Krueger like shirt and gloves), I Don't Want Your Love, All She Wants Is, Serious, Burning the Ground, Ordinary World, Come Undone (which takes place in an aquarium room with a woman singing underwater, trying to free herself from these chains wrapped around her) and Electric Barbarella (affair with a robot. Sexist but so ridiculous. Seems tongue-in-cheek).

Overall, good collection. Gets one less star because of the porn and because of the annoying extras. But the extras are pretty good when you find them. Includes chopped up video of Violence of the Summer.
